Last checked: 24 October 2026. 25 places. Canonical page: https://akkrev.com/hotel-listing-directory/

When a guest asks an AI assistant where to stay, the answer is built from what's published about a hotel across the web: its own website, maps listings, online travel agencies, review sites and curated guides. This is a reference list of the main places independent hotels, B&Bs, inns and holiday lets in the UK and US are listed. Fees and terms change, so check them with each provider. Akkrev receives no money from anyone on this list.
